You can use Microsoft Word or Word Perfect and write your manuscript in the usual manner. You are responsible for the editing, and illustrating (if necessary), of your book and you should always submit an illustrated cover page for marketing purposes. This cover page will also act as your book jacket.

When you format your manuscript your text should be a minimum of 13 pt. to a maximum of 15 pt., justified. The manuscript page size should be 6 inches by 9 inches.

Do not number your pages before submission and it is your choice whether you insert any illustrations you are supplying before submission or have Books for Pleasure insert them for you after acceptance of your manuscript. Illustrations are especially important in children's books.

Submission can be on CD, disk or via e-mail depending on the size of the manuscript. We will contact you when your manuscript has been reviewed by us and we have decided whether or not we will accept it for publication.

A photo and brief bio will be required on acceptance of your manuscript. Please allow two weeks to a month after submission for notification from Books for Pleasure.

The Submission of Pre-Published Work for Distribution
